Overview

From Perth with its bridges and Scone Palace down to Oxford and the Dreaming Spires, there are 17 cities you can choose from, each with its own great landmarks and features to try and spot. You won’t need to worry about missing any of them, as your experienced pilot will point out the sights as you travel over the surrounding buildings and countryside.

Cameras are welcome, so you can take as many pictures as you like from 1000ft up in the air. As if flying in a helicopter wasn’t jealousy-inducing enough, the pictures you’ll be able to show off afterwards are sure to generate some envious looks.

What happens on the day?

On arrival at your chosen helipad you’ll be given a full safety briefing by the ground crew before jumping into the rear of the helicopter to start your sightseeing tour. There’ll be up to three people alongside you in the cabin, or you can upgrade to the co-pilot seat for an additional fee if you’d like to sit in the front. From then you’ll head out to see the nearby city and countryside on a 25 mile journey, with the pilot pointing out all the local landmarks to look out for on the way. Cameras are more than welcome, so feel free to take as many pictures as you’d like.

I activated my voucher before the expiry date only to find that Manchester had no available dates. They only fly at weekends! I had to travel to Blackpool from south Cheshire for the last available date in the north. The directions for finding the hangar were very poor and I was distressed, thinking that I would miss my slot. I had to wait longer than the possible 1 hour and I was crammed in the middle seat with a wide pillar blocking my view. The pilot was silent and my headset didn't work.
